Kcnq4 - potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 4

Enables potassium channel activity. Involved in negative regulation of dopaminergic synaptic transmission; potassium ion transport; and sensory perception of sound. Located in cytoplasm; neuron projection; and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 2A and sensorineural hearing loss. Orthologous to human KCNQ4 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
